4 CASE Of DESrlrUIION
That Calls for Immediate Action by
the Commissioners.

the Commissioners.
Mrs. Pearson, relict of an old miner
who, If the TINES remembers Alright,
died a couple of years ago, leaving
his family destitute, lives, with her
two children, at the northwest corner
of River and Carbonate streets. The
hut-it cannot be called a house
was the first erected in HALEY. 1t is
log cabin, aud, the mud between
the logs having settled, dried, or
fallen off, the cold and dust come in
from all directions. The roof, too,
is warped and twisted and open every.
where. Her suffefings and those of
her family must be terrible. She does
what she can to support herself by
taking in washing; but as she is very
sickly, weak, aud almost blind, she
cannot do much.
AS winter is coming on, and she
has neither wood nor provisions, the
county will have to supply them. as
in this country no one can be allowed
to either starve or freeze to death, If
their condition is known. On this
point there will be no difference of
opinion; because tho commissioners
aud citizens both understand their
duty; but the question to be decided
is: How can this family be best and
most cheaply taken care of? If q
house is rented, it will cost the county
$12 to $40 per mont.-for years,
maybe. On the other hsnd, Mrs.
Pearson owns her lot, and carpenter
informs the TINES that for 1925 he
can build = comfortable one.room
structure 14xl6 feet that will at least
be tolerably comfortable.
This, the TINES holds, is what should
be done. 1t would be cheaper aud
better, all around.

Its RGties and Functions - Americas
- Claims.
WASHINGTON, NoceSl8Ger T.-Some
confusion exists as to the functions of the
fisheries commission, which is about to
meet here, due, probably, to the fact that
commissions have hitherto been created
only by treaty aud have had final jurisdic-
ton over the matter submitted to them,
whether for the settlement OF boundaries
or the adjustment Of claims for
damages. The present commits
sion comes together with on
other power than that OF free conferences
npou q question which has practically
bee open one, as long az this country
bas had an existence Briefly stated, it
has been from the beginning the claim of
the United States that whatever privileges
the treaties with Great Britain recognized,
they were due 10 Americans, originally
right and were not in any sense grants or
concessions for which something could be
demanded in return. In other words,
when the territory once under the control
OF Great Britain was divided, the parti.
tion related TO the land alone, the rights
upon the waters remaining common
to the vessels of both nations. This
they have always denied. The treaties and
arrangements heretofore made have been
makeshlfts, securing q recognition OF our
rights in one way or another, but merely
for the time being, while postponing the
main question indefinitely. The present
commission may arrive at an interpreta-
tiou of existing treaties exactly defining
the rights of Americans, or finding that
impossible, it may agree upon some modi-
fication TO he recommended to the treaty,
in either Of which cases, the commission
will have accomplished the purpose Of its
creation. The commission cannot under
its present powers deal with the question
o; commercial union with Canada, though
it is not impossible that that subject may
hc referred to it by the two governments
before its labors are ended.

STARTLED GUESTS
Compelled to Flee for Their Lives by the
Planes.


Planes.
CHICAGO, November 17.-oyer one hun
dred guests, occupying the six floors of the
Saratoga European Hotel, on Dearborn
street, werh aroused from their beds short
ly before O'clock this morning by the
ringing OF The electric fire alarm in their
rooms. Smoke was pouring through the
halls and creeping in at the transoms.
Crief of 'Fire' were heard on every land
ing and an indescribable panic ensued.
Few stopped to secure their clothing or
valuables. Women and men filed through
the halls, down the stairway and out into
the street, clad in their night clothes.
The clatter1ng OF the fire engines aroused
the occupants of several hotels in the neigh
borhOod, and the excitement became in
tense. One man, Harry Hammond, the
night clerk Of the hotel, descended from
the sixth story by the FIRE escape. The
other inmates tumbled over each other
down the stairs in their hurry to escape.
The fire had started in the kitchen of the
Saratoga restaurant, on the first floor, and
rapidly spread through the building
ascending s9the top at the rear by meaps
of the vertilator. The night clerk of the
hotel, Thos. McFadden, saw the smoke
and ran into the hall and gave the alarm
He rang the electric alarm bells. The
clerk at the Windsor Hotel heard the cries
of fire and sent in au alarm. Shortly after
the arrival of the first company a second
alarm was sent in. The flames were then
high above the roof of the seven-story
structure and threatening the Journal
building to the south and the Windsor
Hotel across the alley TO the north. Half
an hours hard work subdued the fire suf-
ficieutly to allow two truck companies TO
hoist their ladders and make search of
the rooms 1t was at first believed that
some Of the guests had been caught in the
fire, but none were found.
About @ quarter of three, after several
of the engines had been dismissed, the
fire broke out afresh on the top. floor,
and in a short while the entire seventh
story was ablaze, with strong
breeze tanning it in the direction of the
Journal building to the south. The rear,
from the lower floor clean TO the roof, was
also ablaze, the shaft formerly used as a
freight elevator acting as fluc. The fire,
however, was confined to these places, and
bat for the strong wind could have been
easily fought. The building was flooded
with water, and from this and smoke most
of the dam 'ge will accrue.
At 3 o'clock the fire was entirely under
control.

THE DIAMOND KINGS.
OF BASE BALL NAGNATES IN
NEW YORK.
HustliDg for New Blood for the Next Ysar-Glsason
Goes to PHILADELPHIA Big Offer for
Richardson and Thompson
Detroit DOwled.

New YORK, November 1.-THE many
base ball gossips who loafed about the
Fifth Avenue Hotel to-day were still specu-
latipg on the chances Of the Brotherhood
with the League and the percentage ques-
ton. The impression gained ground that
a compromise in both matters would be
effected.
Ten o'clock was the hour set for open
ing the convention, but it was noon before
the delegates began formal proceedings.
Its believed that President Day, Of the
New York Club, will offer o resolution
making the percentage 10 per cent. where
the attendance is over 5000, and guar
antee Of $500 in other cases. 1t is proba.
bic that this guarantee and 20 per cent.
will be adopted. President Stearns, OF
Detroit, who has asked for 30 pf cent,
intimated to a reporter that he would be
satisfied with the latter figures. He says
that Boston and Philadelphia will alone
oppose the plan.
Mr.. Billings, OF Boston, offered Mr..
Stearns Sl2, coo for Richardson and Thomr-
son, but was told that $40, 900 would not
buy them.
Speaking of the Brotherhood Mr.. Stearns
said You must remember that the
League is eight years old and the Brother
hood but six months. They will have TO
come down from their high horse and ap-
pear before the convention. In that case
| think their demand will be granted after
more or less modification.
There was filed with President Young
this morning contract that William Giea-
son, of the st. Louis Club, signed last
night with the Philadelphias. Proposition
to permit managers to arrange percentages
may he sprung on the Convention.
AFTER NEW PLAYERS.
Barnie, Of Baltimore, was caught on the
fly between two players whom he was but
tonhOling, "Yes, | am at it," said he;
''all the rest are at it, and il don't do
the same I'll get left"
DOescher, who was League umpire last
year. and blacklisted, was reinstated yes
terday. As soon as this was done he sign
ed contract to umpire fol- the American
Association next season.
The discussion on Detroit's demand for
s., coo guarantee on 30 per cent provoked
much bitter feeling, As was expected
the principal opposition came from Boston
and Philadelphia When vote was
taken it was found that the motion had
been defeated. Then efforts for COM
promise were made. There was wide
diversity Of opinion. President Day said
that the discussion wOald probably last an
hour or two longer. New York voted
with Boston and Philadelphia, but Mr.,
Day favOrs compromise rather favorable
